Frequently
Asked Questions


The course teaches the critical aspects of asthma, including its triggers and the classification of asthma attacks as mild, severe or life-threatening, and the step-by-step first aid required during an asthma emergency.

You'll learn practical response techniques including the 4x4x4 inhaler method, the correct use of spacers, and appropriate communication during an asthma emergency.

You'll engage with both theoretical knowledge and practical case studies, helping you build confidence in managing asthma-related emergencies.

Common signs include wheezing, breathlessness, a persistent dry cough (often worse at night or early morning), and tightness or pain in the chest. In severe cases a person may struggle to speak in full sentences, or have pale, sweaty skin and blue lips or fingernails, which is a life-threatening emergency requiring an immediate ambulance.

It suits anyone who wants the confidence to recognise and respond to an asthma emergency, including parents, carers, teachers, sports coaches and workplace first aiders.
